Favorite Site of the Month - Feb/2012

There are so many gaming blogs out there – it seems like once a day I discover a blog that I’ve never seen before.  To be honest, when I came across The Free RPG Blog, I immediately sat up in my chair and started clicking through the posts.  I mean, for fun I’ve been working on my own role-playing games for years, and here was [Read the article]

Take a Break Sunday: Hot-Ass MMA Fighter Kicks Ass in Spycraft-like Film

Not a mixed-martial arts fan?  Not a problem… I’ve been following Mixed Martial Arts since the inception of UFC in ’93.  This is when a lot of boxing fans (and non-boxing fans) saw the amazing execution of triangle chokes and ankle locks, and saw them actually working. In RPGs (like Spycraft) a lot of these moves are used in-game, though seemingly improbable.  Real-world fighting is [Read the article]

Favorite Site of the Month - January / 2012

The Quirky DM has been a guilty pleasure of mine for awhile now (the site, not Quirky).  I simply dig the site’s tone and content.  So, of course it’s only fitting that they’re our favorite site of the month! Here’s Quirky: When Tourq told me that he wanted to choose Quirky DM as the site of the month, it was a dream come true. My original [Read the article]

Favorite Site of the Month: Dec/2011

Daily Encounter started as a useful site, presenting easy to incorporate encounters, often complete with maps and stat blocks. It has blossomed into and incredible resource over the last few months as John Pope has added a number of new designers to his list of authors (a few of which have also been highlighted by KoboldQuarterly.com). Each week they present new and flavorful elements to add [Read the article]

Favorite Site of the Month: Nov/2011

I’m excited to tell you about our favorite site for November because it’s one of those gaming sites that I go to often. I don’t go there because I like the owner, because the site is pretty and shiny, or because they are an authority on a specific gaming topic. I go there because the site has concrete, useful gaming information that directly improves my [Read the article]

I’m sitting here at my work desk, trying to come up with something witty to say. I’ve deleted paragraph after paragraph because they kept making me sound like a complete tool. Maybe that’s the case anyway, but at least at this very moment I’m just typing whatever comes to me. Quick sidenote: Pour Some Sugar On Me is on the radio right now, and it’s [Read the article]

I haven’t been too keen on the web series movement, and it’s been a while since I clicked on Hulu, but I caught wind of a new 6-part series and it seems right up my alley. Sure, it’s a lot of bad acting and campy lines, but I still like watching it. And no, I don’t mind the gratuitous female leather armor. There, I said [Read the article]

State of the Shack: #3!

Hey my fellow gamers, I thought I’d take this opportunity to say a few things about what’s going on around here. We hit a couple of milestones, have a few things coming up, and have a thank you or two to throw out there… This is My Game is our current Favorite Site of the Month, and our post about it received the most number [Read the article]

Favorite Site of the Month: Oct/2011

Sometimes I wish I could split myself in two, just so that I would have more time to visit and read up on all of the various gaming blogs. Well, until I gain that superpower, I’ll just have to find other ways to find the time (like no more napping?). Seriously, imagine my happy surprise when I revisited This is My Game and found all [Read the article]
